From what iv heard they are a bit fed up at Leeds with certain ppl ie Barrie Mcdermott being Head of Youth and is never there at the club due to TV commitments, Bluey is difficult to work with and also they feel they are ready to step upto first team head coach.

Do you honestly think Leeds would get rid of them otherwise?? Theres a bigger picture going on behind the scenes at Leeds at the moment. You only have to look at their stuttering academy at present ie conceding 90+ points at warrington.

Im also not denying they have money and international players through the board but even so they must be doing something right to win it 3 years on the bounce. I also dont distpute the fact that being Head Coach at wakey on a budget and wheeling and dealing is totally different. However, young coaches of this calibre (you can include Francis Cummings in this too) are not flying round at the moment.

If Kear was to go either Franny or Willie would be my first choice to replace him.

My comment was in response to the "game, set & match" one above - it was said as though there was no need for discussion. I agree that the season is almost a right off (but really do hope we are both wrong and we pull something from the bag) - but I differ with you over the steady improvement.

I think we have stagnated for at least 2 years now, we played teams at the right time last year and accumilated points early doors before going on the midseason slump - and showing ourself up in the play offs. We got to the semi final of the cup (through the luckiest draw possible) and again failed to perform.

Kear has brought in the personnel he wanted and for one reason or another we are now in the lurch.... 1 man takes responsobility for on field actions and just as he deserved all the praise in the world after the great escape he deserves to be under the microscope when things continue to go badly.

And don't forget he seems to be throwing his hat into the ring for coaching jobs too, so the loyalty card is questionable - it has to work both ways.

there is always need for discussion, what im saying is pretty much what KK said. we have improved year on year under JK but this year have come unstuck, but for all the people baying for his blood right now they werent so bothered when we had Tronc, Brough and suppose Newton and the results were going are way for one reason or another those players left and the team had to regroup, that regrouping as gone tits up but surely he deserves the chance to put things right

Couldn't agree more big boy.

oi oi cheeky
